What's the difference between

Out-of-Network Therapy & In-Network therapy?

Out-of-Network Therapy

  • Freedom to choose the best therapist who truly fits your needs
  • The therapist is not contracted with your insurance plan
  • You pay the session fee upfront
  • Your insurance may reimburse you, depending on your plan
  • Many clients use a superbill (an invoice provided by us) for insurance reimbursement

In-Network Therapy

  • Therapist options may be more limited based on your plan
  • The therapist is contracted with your insurance plan
  • You typically pay a copay/coinsurance (and any deductible)
  • Insurance often requires a diagnosis on file
  • Your plan may limit session coverage, length, or frequency

REVIEWS

Five stars rating in a speech bubble.

Sam is a thoughtful and compassionate therapist who truly listens. He creates a safe space where you can be honest and work through challenges without feeling judged. I’ve gained so many tools that have made a real difference in my life. Highly recommend!

Five stars rating inside a speech bubble, indicating excellent feedback.

Thank you Justin Dana  for helping me become a much better parent to my sixteen year old daughter. His professionalism & expertise on the parent-child relationship made everything manageable. He taught me how to be more assertive than passive when conversing with my daughter. He is a great & amazing therapist! I truly recommend him.

I’ve been seeing Samantha Chong for some time now and she has been so supportive. She has helped me to transform the way I see myself  and navigate my relationship with the world. She’s the best!

Five stars in a speech bubble, indicating a 5-star review.

Before we started seeing Marcia, my husband and I were totally stuck in the same old communication pattern. She created a comfortable, totally safe space where we both finally felt heard and respected.
We actually handle disagreements with empathy now instead of just getting frustrated. We use the tools she gave us every single day and it has been a tremendous help in our home!

Five stars rating in a speech bubble.

Adriana was very effective in helping me get to the root of my issues. She listened carefully to me without judgment  and provided guidance for me to clearly recognize certain things and to help overcome them.
I would recommend her to anyone seeking therapy, whatever the reason.

I cannot recommend Mountain's Therapy enough. From the very first session, I felt welcomed, supported, and truly listened to. The environment is calming, professional, and safe, making it easy to open up. My therapist takes the time to understand my needs and provides thoughtful guidance and tools that actually make a difference in my day-to-day life. What I appreciate most is the genuine care and compassion she doesn’t don't just listen, she helps me work toward real progress. If you're looking for a therapist who combines professionalism with kindness and effective strategies, Mountain's Therapy is an excellent choice

Five stars rating in a speech bubble.

I would recommend her to anyone seeking therapy,  whatever the reason. I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for all that you've done for me during our therapy sessions. Your guidance and support have been invaluable, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had you as my therapist. Through our sessions, I've been able to gain a better understanding of myself and my emotions. Best CBT Therapist i highly recommend Mountain Therapy.
